Nissan ‘Unboxes’ Its Latest Mobile Device at the GSMA Mobile World Congress

Electric vehicle leader Nissan has ‘unboxed’ its new software-enabled
vehicle, the Nissan LEAF 30 kWh, as some of the largest names in
technology gather in Barcelona for the opening day of the GSMA Mobile
World Congress 2016.

As well as boasting a 26 percent increase in driving range (250 km on a
single charge) via a new 30 kWh battery, the new MY16 LEAF is changing
the connectivity landscape with an improved version of the brand’s
acclaimed NissanConnect EV infotainment system.

Nissan marked the event with a live ‘unboxing’ of the new MY16 Nissan
LEAF 30 kWh while debuting a new film highlighting a raft of new updates
available on the latest edition of the bestseller: https://youtu.be/vh4qHRt6s68

The ‘unboxing’ marks the first time Nissan has exhibited at the show,
closing the gap between the automotive and technology worlds, and
showcasing the manufacturers’ innovative approach to in-car technologies.

Gareth Dunsmore, Director of Electric Vehicles for Nissan Europe, said:
“What better place to showcase our latest technology than alongside
other leading lights in innovation. Not only is Nissan the leader of the
electric vehicle revolution, we are also committed to bringing
cutting-edge technology, connectivity and e-mobility to the mass market”

The enhanced NissanConnect EV telematics system is at the forefront of
accessible in-vehicle technologies, allowing Nissan LEAF owners to
control many of the vehicle’s features at the touch of a button.
Providing a suite of digital alerts and remote access features, owners
can remotely manage and check the status of the battery, set timers for
charging, remotely switch on climate control and find local charging
stations.

In addition to this, the new operating system also allows users to
analyse their driving patterns, including energy usage and CO2 saved per
journey.

“In a fully connected, fully mobile world, in-vehicle connectivity is an
absolute must for today’s drivers. That is why Nissan is proud to be at
the forefront of developing efficient and reliable in-vehicle connected
technologies that are available and accessible to all,” added Dunsmore.

Nissan has one of the most comprehensive European presences of any
overseas manufacturer, employing more than 17,600 staff across
locally-based design, research & development, manufacturing, logistics
and sales & marketing operations. Last calendar year Nissan plants in
the UK, Spain and Russia produced more than 675,000 vehicles including
award-winning crossovers, small cars, SUVs, commercial vehicles and
electric vehicles, including the Nissan LEAF, the world's most popular
electric vehicle with 97% of customers willing to recommend the car to
friends. Nissan now offers a strong line-up of 23 diverse and innovative
models in Europe under the Nissan and Datsun brands.
